Distilled: seeped in darkness
only a small, thin veneer peeking
from beneath dark eyebrows,
once a soft small breath becomes
a more passionate wind fleeing the sea,
birds banking from its swell
riding the coattails of its wake.

Shoji opens slowly, pine trees sway
to rest while onto the pavement
leaves bled from Dutch maple die
each scar amplified.

Looking for any ray shone
that shall mean forgiveness
thoughts pass as ridiculous
thanks to this morning’s revelation.

Finally, I can stop thinking I’m crazy.
Fall’s cloak turns onto a morning’s
destiny, and I feel strangely happy.
I am stunned: wondering if this too is
but a joke. I wait for the punch line
as the day progresses, my heart begins
to feel lighter - a contradiction,
a puzzlement of life resolving.

Smells of winter surround every corner,
my coffee warms in my hands,
I see my breath float away
into a struggling sunlight.

"amphlified" indeed. Such can be so overwhelming as to capture all of one's life
